Holar. Happy end of Wednesday. ๐ด Long, insanely busy day. 11 cars on the schedule. Did seven, paid for six. Nine on the schedule for tomorrow already, with more likely saying they want help. I also have a lunch interview to do with the gentleman who's applying to work for me. Another applied today as … Continue reading 2021-09-15 — This Little Dude’s Tired

The eyes be "a [shuttin'] on me" (think The Great Race). ๐ด Another late one, and, yes, my anonymous Blogreader friend, I need more sleep... for sure. ๐ Coming up on 2 a.m. again, and things be "crazy as a coot." Things be "as crazy as two coots." Gonna meet with my new potential worker … Continue reading 2021-09-14 — Runnin’ and Gunnin’
2021-09-13 — Beat
I'm beat. I only slept something like 3 1/2 or 4 hours last night, after spending so much time redoing my About Me page on this little blog site thingy and after getting up early so as not to miss the calls that came in (lots of calls came in this morning, thankfully. It wasn't … Continue reading 2021-09-13 — Beat

2021-09-12 — Divorce Before Marriage and Two ER Visits
So I decided to close my curtains to keep some of the light out (being a very light sleeper, I wake up easily when the sun comes up, even if I'm really short on sleep. And Iย wasย short on sleep, so I chose to close my curtains to make it easier). The result? I slept in … Continue reading 2021-09-12 — Divorce Before Marriage and Two ER Visits

Hola, mon peopleses. ๐ Happy Saturday to all y'all. Hope you good day has been uplifting and educational. Over here it started out as another slow day. I'm used to having the phone ring off the hook seemingly in the morning, but it's been dead pretty much since my competitor came out swinging with advertisements … Continue reading 2021-09-11 — Ever Forward
2021-09-10 — Try Try Again?
Took it a bit slower today again. Three jobs and a job interview. Tentatively hired a new mechanic, a young kid fairly recently out of school, I believe. I'll try him out starting Monday, and we'll see how it goes. If it works well, then I'll do a marketing push in the Fayetteville/Springdale area to … Continue reading 2021-09-10 — Try Try Again?
2021-09-09 — Back to Busy
Up early but started late. I've been a bit more concerned lately with getting up on time because things have slowed down right about the time I had a major new competitor join the mobile mechanic scene. Calls often come in bunches early, first thing in the morning, and I'm listed as opening a half … Continue reading 2021-09-09 — Back to Busy
2021-09-08 — Slowing Down Again
Hi hi. ๐ Another day in the books. I didn't do any cars today. Things have slowed down quite a bit. I don't know if it's the new guy on the block, if it's just a slow down, or what it is, but it's probably good for me. I'm still busy busy busy, but it's … Continue reading 2021-09-08 — Slowing Down Again

Holar. Happy Tuesday. ๐ Got my Terrain shipped off to the shop to be repaired. Cross your fingers that they do the job right. I felt like I shouldn't do the job myself... just that... f/Feeling. So... I'll trust it to someone else and hope they get it properly taken care of. A little nervous, … Continue reading 2021-09-07 — Back to Work
